おもしろい事実

Before flying, they often lie on their back and spin around to get enough momentum to launch into the air!

Their grubs, or larvae, are unique because they crawl on their backs, not their bellies, to move faster!

When startled, they sometimes play dead by flipping over and staying perfectly still until the danger passes!

Wow! Unlike most beetles, they fly with their hardened wing covers *closed*, making them super aerodynamic!
